I used to work in the HR office for my department and I would get people's resumes and CV's. I've actually seen email adresses like sexydevil69@hotmail.com. Nice, you really sound like the kind of person that I want working in pediatrics.

If you curse like a sailor, learn to restrain yourself. Nothing says "professionalism" quite like using four letter words like crazy in a meeting.

Someone needs to tell this to the Project Manager for one of the Generals we work for. Especially when there are Southen Ladies present.

Or using "like" with every other word. "I was, like, so, like, excited to, like, be asked to make this presentation. My ideas, are like, so good."
